Inn Break
Right then, Temba Bavuma collects the trophy and joins his teammates. All smiles in the Proteas camp as they pose with the trophy to mark the end of the 2024 Sir Vivian Richards Trophy. With this result, South Africa have climbed a couple of places to 5th in the World Test Championship standings while the West Indies remain at the bottom of the table for now. South Africa's tour of the West Indies isn't over yet. The action now moves to Trinidad for a three-match T20I series. All games will be held at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, with the first T20I set for Saturday, August 24. The first ball will be bowled at 12.30 am IST (1900 GMT, the previous day). As always, we'll be here to bring you all the action. Until then, goodbye and take care!
Temba Bavuma, skipper of South Africa says that the game was full of ups and downs and it was a proper game of Test cricket. He continues that he is glad that the weather held up for this game. He also says that the bowlers did a phenomenal job and helped them get back in the game. He also says that the batters lacked a bit of experience but feels that they will learn from their mistakes. Praises Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj for taking their responsibilities as experienced players. Ends up saying that they can play better cricket and they will surely gain a lot of experience and be a better team.
Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of West Indies is up for a quick chat. He begins by saying that their first innings were ordinary but also says that they did well when they came out to bowl. Says that their mindset was to go out with the intent, but failed to create partnerships. Appreciates Motie and the lower middle order for showing some resilience with the bat. Accepts that they didn't do enough to get ahead in the game and kept losing their wickets playing rash shots. Also mentions about Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales for bowling exceptionally well and says that the two are growing in confidence. Ends by saying that they fought back really well and the sky is the limit for them.
Keshav Maharaj is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES for his superb showing with the ball throughout the series. He says that he is happy to get the win.

Adds he has been out of action in Test cricket and thanks the management for trusting in him. Tells that he has tried to play as much cricket as possible and always tries to give his best every time he has gotten the opportunity. Mentions that he tried to bowl wobble seam deliveries which helped him to garner most of the success. Ends by saying that he is pleased with his performance.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
The match proved to be an enthralling contest from the outset. South Africa, opting to bat first, struggled against the local talent Shamar Joseph, supported by Jayden Seales, who dismantled their batting lineup. Joseph's five-wicket haul left South Africa reeling at 97/9, but a gritty last-wicket stand of 63 between Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger pushed the total to 160. In response, the West Indies faced similar difficulties against the South African pace trio of Mulder, Burger, and Rabada. Jason Holder's resilient half-century, alongside a spirited partnership with Shamar Joseph, reduced the deficit to just 16 runs before Keshav Maharaj wrapped up the innings.
As the game progressed, batting conditions improved with the pitch easing up, allowing South Africa to build a solid 79-run opening stand through Markram and de Zorzi. However, the West Indies fought back valiantly with Jayden Seales leading a probing spell that resulted in crucial breakthroughs. Gudakesh Motie further tilted the balance with important wickets, before Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder steadied the ship to see South Africa through to the close of play on Day 2.
Earlier, South Africa started the day with a 239-run lead, but their innings suffered a dramatic collapse. After a previous collapse that saw them lose 4 wickets for 19 runs, another downfall followed, leading to the loss of their last 5 wickets for just 23 runs. What could have been a much larger lead was curtailed, with the visitors having to settle for 262 on the board. Jayden Seales was the chief wrecker, finishing with career-best figures of 6 for 61. In reply, Kagiso Rabada dented West Indies early before Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty saw their side through till Lunch.
While West Indies dominated the morning session, South Africa seized control in the afternoon. Wiaan Mulder made an early impact by dismissing West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite, setting the tone for the session. Keacy Carty, who had earlier been reprieved due to a no-ball, squandered his second chance and failed to capitalize. Kavem Hodge, coming in at number 4, showed some intent but couldn’t hang around for long. Alick Athanaze and Jason Holder both perished attempting big shots against Dane Piedt, which only compounded the hosts' troubles. By Tea, West Indies found themselves in a precarious position. The lack of experience in handling the disciplined South African bowling, combined with the mounting pressure, led to a series of mistakes, ultimately putting the hosts on the back foot.
The third session of Day 3 began with West Indies precariously placed at 127 for 6, still 136 runs behind with just 4 wickets in hand. The hosts found a glimmer of hope through a fighting partnership between Gudakesh Motie and Joshua Da Silva. Motie opted for an aggressive approach against the spinners, while Da Silva focused on rotating the strike. As the partnership grew and the required runs dipped into the 80s, South Africa needed a breakthrough. Keshav Maharaj, reintroduced into the attack, answered his captain's call. He dismissed both set batters in quick succession, with both LBW decisions that could have gone either way but the all-important on-field call went South Africa's way. This double blow swung the momentum back in South Africa's direction, putting them firmly in control. The Windies' tail offered stiff resistance and made the visitors wait for the win, but ultimately, the Proteas' persistence paid off, securing their victory and the series. Kagiso Rabada ended the Test just one wicket short of reaching 300 Test wickets, while Keshav Maharaj, with the final wicket, surpassed Hugh Tayfield to become the leading wicket-taker for South Africa as a spinner in Test cricket with 171 wickets.
South Africa retain the Sir Vivian Richards Trophy! A thoroughly captivating Test, where the pendulum swung back and forth, but in the end, the Proteas emerged victorious, winning both the Test and the series. This is now the 10th consecutive Test series win for South Africa against the West Indies. Despite showing promise across both Tests, the West Indies lacked the experience, especially in the batting department, to counter South Africa's formidable bowling attack. The Windies' top six could only manage 90 runs between them in the second inning, and if they had applied themselves better on this wicket, it could very well have been the West Indies on the winning side.

Keshav Maharaj To Jayden Seales OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! IT IS SOUTH AFRICA! THEY HAVE CLINCHED THE SERIES WINNING THIS SECOND TEST BY 40 RUNS! Keshav Maharaj bowls fuller and just outside off, and gets a sharp turn towards the middle and leg stump channel. Jayden Seales plants his front foot ahead and looks to turn it with the spin. But ends up chipping it off the inside half of the willow to short leg. David Bedingham in that position quickly reacts to his right, gets his hands in the direction of the ball, and takes the catch in his safe pair of hands. The South African players flock around in jubilation and are all pumped up and why not?

Kagiso Rabada To Shamar Joseph OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Superman effort from the South African skipper! Temba Bavuma, take a bow! Kagiso Rabada comes from over the wicket and bowls a good-length delivery, on off, and shaping it away. Shamar Joseph weighs on the back foot and gives it a swipe across the line. He aims to clear the mid-wicket region but gets it off the cue end of the bat as he loses his shape, trying to hit it too hard. The ball flies flat and towards the mid on fielder where Temba Bavuma leaps and takes a sensational one-handed catch with his right hand to help Kagiso Rabada snag his 299th Test wicket. Shamar Joseph is absolutely distraught and walks back with his head down in disappointment. And with this, South Africa are just a solitary wicket away from a series win.

Keshav Maharaj To Joshua Da Silva OUT!
OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW again, and up goes the finger! Joshua Da Silva, however, reviews it in a flash. Keshav Maharaj drops it nice and full, giving a few more revolutions on this one. Pitches it on the middle and leg corridor and drifts it into the batter. Joshua Da Silva gets two-minded whether to commit on the front foot or go deep inside the crease. He first goes back and across but decides to stride on the front foot eventually. He draws his front foot ahead but is too late to get his bat in the line of the ball and wears it on the pads. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and Ball Tracking confirms that the ball is clipping the leg-pole on umpire's call. This is the second time when the umpire's call has gone the way of Keshav Maharaj and South Africa. Maharaj is now level with Hugh Tayfield at 170 wickets for most wickets as a spinner for South Africa in Test cricket. West Indies lose their 8th wicket and the Proteas are just 2 wickets away now.

Keshav Maharaj To Gudakesh Motie OUT!
OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Gudakesh Motie straightaway reviews it. Keshav Maharaj delivers it on a length, around off and turns it into the batter very sharply. Gudakesh Motie goes deeper inside the crease and tries to heave it away but wears it onto the pads due to the lack of room and excessive turn off the deck. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and the Ball Tracking confirms the ball is clipping the leg stump on the umpire's call. Out. Keshav Maharaj provides a much-needed breakthrough for the Proteas. South Africa now need 3 wickets to win. A gutsy inning from Gudakesh Motie comes to an end as he departs on 45 off 59 with West Indies needing 82 more runs to win.

Welcome back to the final session of the third day! The players are punctual and they take their fielding positions. Joshua Da Silva and Gudakesh Motie to resume their innings after the break. Nandre Burger (9-2-25-0) to get the proceedings underway. Here we go...
... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...
Right then! West Indies need 136 more runs to win the match with 4 wickets remaining. Day 3 is known as the moving day and the Test has indeed moved closer to a result. However, anything can happen after the Tea break as we have witnessed miracles happen in this game. Stay tuned as the post-Tea session will commence in a few minutes from now.
The Windies hoped that the new set batters, Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge would continue their partnership till the Tea break. They were doing pretty decent as Hodge struck a few lusty blows to keep the scoreboard ticking, and Alick Athanaze adapted to play the passive role. But Kagiso Rabada's experience turned out to make the most out of it, neutralizing the dangerous-looking Hodge. At the other end, Dane Piedt picked up two back-to-back wickets, and in no matter of time, the game tilted towards the Proteas. Now Windies' all hopes are on Joshua Da Silva, as he is the only recognised batter left in their line-up. South Africa are clearly in attacking mode, trying to wrap the game up as quickly as possible.
TEA, DAY 3 - Session Summary - 26 overs, 83 runs, 5 wickets. End of an absorbing session of Test cricket! As players head into the Tea interval, South Africa find themselves in complete control of the Test. After the lunch break the set batters of the Windies, Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty started slow and steady, rotating their strike to keep their scoreboard ticking. But after a couple of overs, Wiaan Mulder was able to hunt the opposition skipper, Kraigg Brathwaite down. Alick Athanaze struggled since his arrival as did Carty since the first over after the Lunch break. He also had a golden lifeline when he was on 17, where he was caught off a No Ball but he failed to capitalize on it and perished sooner.

Dane Piedt To Jason Holder OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The plan comes to fruition for South Africa and the smiles on their faces say it all. West Indies slip further into trouble as the hero of the first inning, Jason Holder departs. With a long on in place, Piedt comes from over the wicket and loops it up, full and turning in, on middle, Jason Holder gets tempted in the flight and plants his front foot ahead for the big shot. He looks to hit this with the turn to the right of long on but does not commit to the shot fully. Ends up spooning it straight into the hands of long on where Wiaan Mulder runs a few steps in off the ropes and does the rest. West Indies have slipped to 104/6 now, with 159 runs still to win.

Kagiso Rabada To Jason Holder
A loud shout for LBW but the umpire turns it down! Kagiso Rabada is convinced and Temba Bavuma takes the review. This is pitched up by Rabada, angling in, on middle and leg, Jason Holder walks across his stumps as he looks to clip it away off his pads. Gets beaten on the inside edge and gets rapped low on the front pad. The batters cross as the ball rolls on the leg side for a leg bye. The UltraEdge shows no bat but the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be going down with the angle, missing the leg stump. South Africa burn their second review and now have only one review remaining.
Is that out? The decision is sent upstairs for LBW against Jason Holder. A clear gap between the bat and the ball, confirms the TV umpire. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is going down the leg side and missing the leg stump. NOT OUT.

Dane Piedt To Alick Athanaze OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Dane Piedt gets into the act now! A reward for his persistence as Alick Athanaze succumbs to the pressure. Piedt drags his length back a bit and gives enough air to tempt the batter into the big shot. Alick Athanaze falls for the trap as he gets down and goes for the slog sweep. He is nowhere to the pitch of the ball and takes the risk of hitting against the turn. The ball spins away to catch the top edge and balloons over the keeper. Aiden Markram at first slip, runs backwards to his right and takes it near his chest. West Indies have now lost half their side.

Drinks! The game is pretty balanced as the Proteas bowlers have successfully picked up three wickets in a quick interval of time. They have attacked on the controlled lines and lengths and have troubled the opposition batters. Wiaan Mulder and Nandre Burger in tandem have suffocated the batters for runs and Mulder in particular has pretty well gotten positive results out of it. On the other hand, West Indies batters find themselves in a rut and are struggling to keep the scoreboard ticking. That said, they have a lot of time and need to weather this storm with a bit of patience and discipline in their action.

Wiaan Mulder To Keacy Carty OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Wiaan Mulder does win the battle this time around and Keacy Carty departs after getting a golden reprieve without much counterpunch. Wiaan Mulder hurls it at a gentle pace, outside off and deviating away after pitching on the short of a good length. Keacy Carty first goes on the back foot and adjusts by going forward covering the line to play it through the off side. Hence, the lack of clarity gets the better of him as he gets late to bring his bat down in time for the drive and inside edges into the stumps. West Indies are 62/3 now and they need 201 more runs to win. Wiaan Mulder suffocated the batters for runs and got the ultimate prize.

A huge appeal in unison for LBW and the umpire says 'No'! Temba Bavuma decides to give it a check and sends it upstairs. Nandre Burger bowls from over the stumps and lands it on a good length, it skids through quickly and nips back into the batter from outside off. Alick Athanaze is rooted into the crease and tries to block it out but plays it over the line of the ball creating the gap between the bat and the pad. UltraEdge shows no movement and Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is outside off. South Africa burn a review here.

Wiaan Mulder To Keacy Carty
IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Dear, oh dear! Keacy Carty has been awarded a life here as Wiaan Mulder has overstepped. Wiaan Mulder bowls it outside off and on a fuller length, Keacy Carty is drawn ahead to drive to the covers but slices it flat and straight towards the point fielder, Keshav Maharaj who takes a good grab. But all in vain as Mulder makes an error while landing his feet.

Wiaan Mulder To Kraigg Brathwaite OUT!
OUT! LBW! TRAPPED IN FRONT! A huge appeal for LBW and given! Kraigg Brathwaite though, reviews it right away and challenges the on-field decision. Wiaan Mulder brings the angle into the batter and keeps the line fuller which nips and skids back a shade after pitching. Kraigg Brathwaite plays over the line of the ball and wears it on the front pad. UltraEdge comes up and shows that there's no murmur when the ball passes the inside edge. Ball Tracking confirms three reds as the ball hits the leg stump. And this time, Kraigg Brathwaite will have to depart. West Indies burn a review and they are 54/2, with 209 more needed to win. Excellent piece of bowling from Wiaan Mulder.

Welcome back for the start of the second session on Day 3! The sun is shining in all its glory as the two umpires and players make their way out to the centre. Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty are all set to resume their innings with the West Indian skipper taking the first strike. A change of ends for Nandre Burger as he gears up to kickstart proceedings with the red cherry for South Africa. Three slips and a gully await. Here we go!
... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...
The pitch has provided enough assistance to keep the bowlers interested, and with the sun beating down, South Africa's bowlers will be hoping for further deterioration. However, with 8 sessions remaining and 220 more runs needed for victory, the West Indies will go into the Lunch interval as the happier of the two sides. Do join us back at 10.40 pm IST (1710 GMT) for what should be another enthralling session of Test cricket.
Chasing 263 for victory, the West Indies began cautiously, with Kagiso Rabada posing a constant threat, beating the bat on numerous occasions. One of those deliveries finally found its mark as Mikyle Louis edged to third slip, giving South Africa an early breakthrough. However, Keacy Carty and Kraigg Brathwaite held the fort, ensuring no further casualties before Lunch. As we’ve seen so far in this Test, once the ball loses its hardness, batting tends to get easier, and intent will be the key for West Indies, which was visible in the first 14 overs.
SESSION SUMMARY - 66 runs, 24.4 overs and 6 wickets. End of an eventful first session on Day 3, one that belonged to West Indies as they showed fight to script a turnaround. South Africa started the day with a healthy lead of 239 runs, aiming to press home their advantage. However, Jayden Seales had other plans, consistently hitting the right areas and reaping the rewards. Seales picked up where he left off on Day 2, finishing with a remarkable 6-wicket haul. Shamar Joseph and Jomel Warrican also made valuable contributions with the ball. For South Africa, the first 50 minutes of the morning were forgettable, as they squandered their strong position, losing their last 5 wickets for just 23 runs.

Kagiso Rabada To Mikyle Louis OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Kagiso Rabada draws the first blood! Mikyle Louis was looking nervous from the start and now he departs! Kagiso Rabada comes from over the wicket and bowls it fuller just outside off. Mikyle Louis is expecting the delivery to angle into him but the delivery holds its line. Louis strides out and tries to push it on the off side, but gets nicked on the outer edge. The ball flies low and towards the right of the third slip, and Wiaan Mulder makes no mistake by going low to his right.
